Reciprocal recombination of chromosome and F. merogenote in Escherichia coli.
Herman, Robert K. (Lawrence University, Appleton, Wis.). Reciprocal recombination of chromosome and F-merogenote in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 90:1664-1668. 1965.-Mitotic recombination of an F-merogenote with the bacterial chromosome was observed under conditions where both recombinant episome and reciprocally recombinant chromosome, if formed and if passed on to the same progeny, could be detected. Recombinant strains selected on the basis of having a recombinant F-merogenote were found frequently to contain a recombinant chromosome of the reciprocal type.
